Masterpiece? 1981 Cadillac Eldorado Pierre Cardin Edition

The Cadillac Eldorado was a gigantic front-drive personal luxury coupe that was sold to gangsters and rich housewives (or mistresses) but today's version is something special. It was Pierre Cardin's second attempt at automotive customization (after the AMC Javelin customs of the 70s) and started with an Eldorado but added Olds Toronado front fenders and a wild proboscis and all sorts of fancy accoutrements. Find this 1981 Cadillac Eldorado Pierre Cardin Edition offered for $25,000 near Philadelphia, PA via craigslist. From Cory.

That front end is cra cra. When I was a kid, this would have totally been my grandparents on my Mom's side... children were better seen then heard, not allowed to touch anything, etc. (Dad's parents had a health food store in Oregon)

What's up with that center console? Bummed only one pic of the interior was included, but I found this. There's a TV and a place for your 8-tracks... or something.

About the only thing on this car that makes sense is the grille, which appears to be an homage to the original '67 Eldorado, which was about another foot wider than this car. I owned an '83 Toronado which is the twin to this, and adding another 2 feet and probably 400lbs to the nose would have created some 'interesting' handling concerns. Here's what '67 Eldo looks like for quick reference [image src="http://www.classiccarstodayonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/15-1967-Cadillac-Eldorado-front-view.jpg" width="400px"/]
